Monica Förster
The designer Monica Förster is the creator of some of the most internationally renowned objects in contemporary Swedish design today. Her work is characterized by a strong sense of pure form mixed with a never ending curiosity for new materials and technology. She has been awarded many Swedish and international awards as the Designer of the Year and the prestigious Sweden’s Architect, Association Award, The Golden Chair.
For Okko she has designed the beautiful acoustic pendant Shell.
Shell is a sculptural piece of sound absorbing art, constructed of several hemp sheets that contains amazing sound absorbing and aesthetic qualities. The sculptural shells shows the beauty of the natural hemp fiber.
“When designing Shell we started with the flat hemp fiber sheets and experimented with different shapes by folding them into three dimensional shapes.”
Shell is very well placed in different kinds of interiors in need of a healthy sound environment and a beautiful atmosphere, for example such as public spaces, restaurants, offices and private homes.
Shell also provides a negative carbon footprint, is recyclable , comes in a flat pack and is easy to hang.
We would also like to take the opportunity to congratulate Monica who yesterday received the award "AW designer of the year 2023" by AW Architektur & Wohnen! Be sure to visit her exhibition in the Polestar Space Berlin that is open from 1- 21 June if you are in Berlin!
